If cost is your concern, it’s cheaper to imprison someone than to pay for the courts

I’m aware. Which is why I also believe the process needs to be changed. If the person tortured someone to death and the evidence proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt, then the execution should be swift and sure. No appeals. No waiting years on death row. That’ll bring the cost down.

There’s no valid reason why a swift execution following a trial and verdict should cost more than feeding, clothing, and housing someone for decades.

I agree that it isn’t necessary and I think we should use methods far more instant and guaranteed for the death penalty. Still doesn’t make me feel bad for her though.

For one why should the state have the power over life and death especially when mistakes are made?

Then who decides? Seems like you’re saying the alternative is for the state to decide to keep them locked in a cage for decades before they wither and die while we pay for it.

Note that I said I only support it when the evidence undeniably proves they committed the crime.

For another you know the death penalty cases cost more due to challenges and stuff like that,

Then maybe we should change the process. Again, I said I only support it if the evidence is immutable. So why allow any delays in a situation like that? Should be quick and inexpensive beyond the initial trial.

Yeah but I’ve never known a MAGAt or tankie to shut the fuck up, so we’ll still be getting spammed with brain cell annihilating garbage, just to a lesser degree and hopefully not via text or phone call.

Look what the tech oligarchs have reduced us to.

Yes, let’s let the unhinged person who carves pentagrams into people’s flesh before caving their skulls in go home.

And now the state is fucking up so hard you can’t help but feel bad for her

I definitely don’t feel bad for her. What she just experienced wasn’t nearly as awful as what she made her victim experience. Oh, and she’s still alive, unlike her victim.

Nah. We just need to stop doing lethal injections and use a gun or a guillotine or however many other guaranteed instant death methods humans have come up with. Lethal injection is silly. It’s just for the people that show up to watch.

What value is there in keeping people who torture others to death in cages for decades before they die naturally while we foot the bill?

Eh. I don’t really want to pay for people who torture others to death to hang around in a cage for a few more decades. Just needs to be done instantly and without room for error. And obviously only in completely open and shut cases where there is zero doubt the person committed the crime.

I wonder what her victim, whom she tortured, carved a pentagram into her chest, then crushed her skull thinks about all this.

Why don’t we just use a guillotine? Properly sharpened there’s pretty little room for error. Seems like we just do the gas thing to make it easier on the people that show up to watch.

In open and shut cases where it’s beyond doubt that the suspect committed a crime like this, I fully support the death penalty. No reason to keep them around, paying for them for decades.

Spank you.

I legitimately don’t view conservatives as the same species as myself and other reasonably intelligent humans. I believe we’re experiencing an evolutionary split and hope that they go the way of the Neanderthals. Hopefully it happens faster though since I don’t think anyone that isn’t a conservative wants to fuck one. However, they do reproduce like rabbits amongst themselves, which has me alarmed.

Can’t fix this level of stupid. You can only destroy it.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone other than the dumbest of the dumb use the term “overeducated”.

And I don’t call him Trump. I call him Felon. Or Rapist. Or Pedophile. Or Traitor. When I’m feeling particularly spicy I call him Felon Rapist Pedo Traitor.

When the annoying kid that nobody liked gets his hands on a bunch of money.

The same thing we do every recession, Pinky. Try to spend as little as possible on only the essentials and hope we don’t end up homeless.

The racists are a minority.

Unfortunately enough people that don’t understand how important democracy is or how many people died to give it to them stay home every fucking election.
